Psalm 34:8




When in my darkness there is always light. 
When I feel my weakest I can always still fight.
When all I want to do is cry somehow there is always a smile. 
When I think running away will do I manage to sit awhile. 
When my faith is tested there is subtle tug on my heart. 
When I don't want to pray He helps me start.

                                      I cannot explain what I do not see, but I can attest                                   He is so very real to me.







This morning I decided to sit on my front porch, breathe in crisp spring air, listen to birds chirping and squirrels running around. It is Sunday and although I do not attend regular church services, God was right here with me. I felt His presence so strong I had tears in  my eyes. This day He has granted me an unmatched peace in my heart, my soul, and my thoughts. Even if it's just this moment I know that all things will be OK and His loving hands are always cradling my precious children, whether they are with me or not.










 God is so great to me and always forgives me, when I don't know He should.


 Thank you Father for this day as it will last an eternity.

Stigma Shmigma Part 1

My daughter has a mental illness! Does that mean she is less of a person, or not as good as anyone else's daughter? FUCK NO! With that being said I want to tell you about a journey I have been on in hopes that maybe it will help another person or even just to let another person know that they are not alone. Also my intent to let people know when you judge a child or anyone based on a mental illness, quite simply your an asshole. I know that there is a big stigma on mental illness  because   allot of people afflicted with such do not take care of themselves and make very poor decisions. They hurt people emotionally and physically. They hurt themselves and too often they kill themselves. While I do not excuse the behavior and even hold my daughter accountable for her poor choices, sometimes all that person needs is just a little understanding and for you to not take it personal. Easier said than done right? I have always been a pretty tolerant person of mos...

Some good stories do start with, "So I was eating a salad..."

So I was eating a salad and I shit you not the cucumbers were dancing and laughing at me. Now let's go back a few hours so this will actually make sense for ya'll. I was very young and out on my own experimenting with lots of things. One of those would be shrooms, yes taste like shit but send you on the trip of your life, shrooms. The night started out pretty mellow in our little bungalow apartment in Angels Camp, California. I am not certain how we decided to eat the shit but never the less we did. Shortly after digestion I went into the restroom and as I sat down I look into the stand up shower and I shit you not the walls were moving. I came running out with my pants still down yelling, "omg the fucking shower is breathing!!" I trip over my pants and my ass says hello to all my friends in the room. I bust up laughing along with everyone else and realize I can totally pull up my pants now. This was just the beginning of my night. We decide to go up to Perki...

Seeing truth through pain

It's no secret that most of us choose not to deal with a lot of thoughts and emotions that cause us pain. I honestly believe that some of that is healthy. Like our brains way of protecting us, too much negative emotion can be very damaging. So your brain will just compartmentalize the stuff until we are more ready to deal with it. It's amazing to me because this stuff never actually goes away our brain just hides it from us for a time, for lack of a better phrase. What an amazing brain we have right? I used to think that if I just ignore things long enough they will eventually go away. What actually happens is it all gets stored up and then one day your "vault" just bursts and all that yucky shit just comes streaming out. More often then not it will land on someone you love very much, and will hurt them in a way that you can never take back. There is nothing healthy about this process and its not until its too late that you realize exactly what has happened. ...
